Starting a Restaurant?

The documents you’ll need before opening day

The food is the easy part to picture. What decides whether a new restaurant runs smoothly is everything written down behind it: how service works, how the kitchen opens and closes, what staff are expected to do and what suppliers have agreed. These are the documents most new restaurants need, in the order you’ll likely need them.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need all of these before I open?

Most restaurants start with the SOP, the opening and closing routines, a staff handbook and supplier agreements, then add the rest. The Restaurant Launch Pack covers those first documents together.

Can the documents be in my staff’s language?

Yes — each document is written natively in the language you choose, with a second language for +$7.

Is this legal or licensing advice?

No. We prepare documents from the information you provide. Licences, health permits and legal requirements are set by your local authorities — check them with a qualified adviser.
